Do you count mention of the Torah as written (plentiful, see for instance Melachim 1 2:3, "as it is written in the Torah of Moshe") or do you only want people physically interacting with the scrolls themselves?

@sds Why would you think there are so many examples? The scrolls probably sat in the study halls and were used for study. The stories in the Neviim don't talk about people just sitting and studying all that often.
